the simple fact of the matter is this, you can NOT prevent these things from happening. when someone takes it into his/her mind to do something, there is no law, no school policy, no anything, short of imprisonment or death, that is going to prevent them from doing it (whatever "it" is). the best we can hope to do is foster an environment in which people are less likely to want to do these things. an environment such as what we have here at the TFP is a good start, but human nature being what it is (i.e. all people are imperfect, many are weak, and most are corruptible) there's not much reason to believe that we'll see any change in human behavior in our, or our children's, lifetimes.
such is the price of freedom.
